On Jan. 8, residents of Amherst and Pelham reported a low-flying unidentified triangular or diamond-shaped dimly-lit object moving slowly and silently between 5:45 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The object had been reported to be moving slow and hovering about 75 to 100 feet above the ground. Bradley International Airport, in Windsor Locks, Conn., is responsible for radar reports covering western Massachusetts, and they informed the newspaper that there was nothing unusual in the sky above the Amherst-Pelham area during the time period when the UFO was seen.It's taken over two weeks for the Air Force to suggest that a UFO reported over Massachusetts may have only been a huge cargo plane, but even they're not sure.The Associated Press reports that a Westover spokesman first said they had no record of any aircraft over Amherst, but later said there was something in the air.Westover chief of public affairs, Lt. Col. James Bishop, confirms that an Air Force C5 cargo plane took off from the base around 5:30 p.m. on the evening of the UFO reports.The problem with all of this is that the C5 Galaxy cargo plane is one of the world's largest aircraft. While it might be construed as a triangle-shape aircraft when it banks in certain ways, even Bishop confessed that eyewitnesses probably didn't mistake the very loud C5 for the UFO."There's just no mistaking that. It's quite a loud sound and quite a big aircraft," Bishop said.So, at this point, both the Air Force and FAA aren't trying to convince the public that the C5 was the low-flying, silent, diamond-shaped object seen in the sky on Jan. 8.So far, there's no official explanation.
